The InfoFI ecosystem faces a major upheaval—founder Nikita Bier announces the removal of all open API interfaces.

This move directly impacts the operation of multiple connected platforms. Applications such as Kaito, Xeet, Wall Chain, and others that rely on InfoFI data interfaces are in trouble and need to urgently adjust their architectural plans.

Industry insiders analyze that this may reflect significant adjustments by the project team in their business model or technical direction. The closure of APIs usually signals a deeper ecosystem restructuring—either moving towards privatization or seeking new business cooperation models.

The affected Web3 application ecosystem faces adaptation pressures, which also serve as a reminder for industry participants to remain vigilant about architectures that depend on third-party interfaces. Specific details are still unfolding.

Another big shot said shut down, and it just shut down—that's Web3. Nikita's move was a bit harsh, directly cutting off the blood vessels of a bunch of projects. Relying on others' APIs is like this; sooner or later, you'll suffer losses. But to be fair, this wave might be about organizing the ecosystem. Looking forward to what's next. This pattern feels increasingly familiar... Who can we trust anymore?

Another one? Closing the API—this trick has been seen too many times. They say it's a business adjustment, but I think it's just another attempt to harvest profits again. Kaito and the others are really in trouble this time; their data architecture has to be completely overhauled. Who asked them to bet on InfoFI? This is the current state of Web3, relying on others for everything. A single sentence can bring you back to square one.

Turning off the API just like that, we should have been alert to third-party dependencies long ago. It's really easy for our circle to be cut off. Nikita's move this time is indeed a bit fierce; Kaito and the others are really unfortunate. Another "ecosystem restructuring," just hearing about it makes you know a change is coming. Speaking of which, those relying on open APIs should have prepared backup plans earlier. Why panic now? Now someone is bound to step into a pit again. Web3 applications are really hard to develop.

Is it the same old story again? Nikita Bier's classic API tricks... We should have been wary of third-party dependencies long ago. Now Kaito and the others have to clean up the mess.
